Maryland Historical Magazine, 1934, Volume 29, Issue No. 2 ^SA scse&M-"'-/ Edited by J. HALL PLEASANTS, M. D. Published by authority of the State VOLUME L Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland, 1752-1754. The fiftieth volume of Maryland Archives, just off the press, is a worthy companion to those which have preceded it. It is the twenty-third volume of the sub-series dealing with Assembly affairs and is a handsome quarto volume of six hundred and sixty-two pages. As in other recent volumes of the work it is prefaced with a scholarly resume of the contents, by the Editor. The publication of the fiftieth volume of such a series is a matter of more than passing interest and should be a subject of gratulation to the citizens of the State at large, as it is an honor to the Maryland Historical Society, which has every reason to be proud of its stewardship of our State's invaluable archives.

OVEE THE THREE LOWER COUNTIES ON DELAWARE WHICH RESULTED IN MAKING THE STATE OF DELAWARE A SEPARATE COMMONWEALTH. By WALTER A. POWELL. POEEWORD. The history of the contest of a century between the Penns and Calverts over the " Three Lower Counties," then a comparatively narrow tract of land along the Delaware Eiver, Bay and Ocean, which resulted in making the State of Delaware a separate Common- wealth, is found in the Archives of Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York. These Archives contain copies of grants, records, docu- ments, papers, proceedings, testimony and orders in the hearings in England before the Lords of Trade and Plantations in 1683-1685 and in the suit in Chancery decided in 1750 by Lord Chancellor Hardwieke in the contest between the Penns and Calverts. The claim is made that the existence of Delaware as a separate Common- wealth is due to the planting the De Vries Colony in 1631 at Lewes on a narrow tract of land two miles wide and thirty-two miles in length under a grant by the West India Company of Holland. England claimed the territory, now Delaware, being the East half of Peninsula lying between the Chesapeake Bay and the Delaware Eiver, Bay and Ocean by right of discovery of land from Cape Fear to Canada and by occupation by Colonies in many places long prior to 1631. June 20, 1632, Charles I made a grant to Lord Baltimore of Maryland—being all of the land between the Chesa- peake Bay and the Delaware River, Bay and Ocean and other land. In 1681, Charles II made a grant to William Penn of Pennsylvania. 83 84 MARYLAND HISTOEICAL MAGAZINE. Penn, discovering that he had no outlet to his province, saw that he must have the " Three Lower Counties on Delaware " then a comparatively narrow tract of land along the Delaware Eiver, Bay and Ocean, for an outlet to Pennsylvania, even though this territory had been granted to Lord Baltimore in 1632. The contest between the Penns and Calverts over what was then known as the " Three Lower Counties," waged for nearly a century, finally resulted in taking from Lord Baltimore a part of his grant— the entire east half of his Peninsula, now Delaware territory, and giving it to the Penns. Delaware owes its existence as a separate Commonwealth to this fight of a century in which Lord Baltimore lost and Penn gained the east half of the Peninsula—now Delaware. WALTER A. POWELL, April, 1932. Dover, Delaware. The De Vries monument on the site of the Colony seated at Lewes by the Dutch in 1631 bears the following inscription: " That Delaware exists as a separate Commonwealth is due to this Colony." This inscription had its origin in a clause in the patent to Maryland issued by Charles I. of England to Cecelius Calvert— Lord Baltimore, dated June 20th, 1632, viz: "A country hither- to uncultivated (Hactenus inculta) . and partly inhabited by savages having no knowledge of the Divine Being." The De Vries Colony was planted in 1631 on a narrow tract of land on the coast extending from the present south line of Delaware north 32 miles to a point a little north of Bower's Beach and 2 miles in width, under a grant from the West India Company to Godyn and Bloemmaert and the purchase thereof by them from the Indians. The claim is made that as the De Vries Colony was planted in 1631, this " Country " was culti- vated and inhabitated by the Dutch prior to Lord Baltimore's grant made June 20, 1632 (hereafter discussed); consequently it was not then " uncultivated " and partly inhabited by " sav- ages ": Therefore, " That Delaware exists as a separate Com- monwealth is due to this Colony." The territory now known as Delaware, comprising the entire east half of the Peninsula THE EIGHT BETWEEN THE PENNS AND CALVEBTS. 85 between the Delaware Bay and Eiver on the East and of the Chesapeake Bay on the West, does not owe its existence as a " separate Commonwealth" to the De Vries Colony.

    Defining the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for The Nanjemoy and Mattawoman Creek Watersheds Prepared By: Scott M. Strickland Virginia R. Busby Julia A. King With Contributions From: Francis Gray • Diana Harley • Mervin Savoy • Piscataway Conoy Tribe of Maryland Mark Tayac • Piscataway Indian Nation Joan Watson • Piscataway Conoy Confederacy and Subtribes Rico Newman • Barry Wilson • Choptico Band of Piscataway Indians Hope Butler • Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians Prepared For: The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, Maryland St. Mary’s College of Maryland St. Mary’s City, Maryland November 2015 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this project was to identify and represent the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for the Nanjemoy and Mattawoman creek watersheds on the north shore of the Potomac River in Charles and Prince George’s counties, Maryland. The project was undertaken as an initiative of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office, which supports and manages the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. One of the goals of the Captain John Smith Trail is to interpret Native life in the Middle Atlantic in the early years of colonization by Europeans. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept, developed as an important tool for identifying Native landscapes, has been incorporated into the Smith Trail’s Comprehensive Management Plan in an effort to identify Native communities along the trail as they existed in the early17th century and as they exist today. Identifying ICLs along the Smith Trail serves land and cultural conservation, education, historic preservation, and economic development goals. Identifying ICLs empowers descendant indigenous communities to participate fully in achieving these goals.

The representatives held a different opinion of the conflict, believing that the proprietors were the ones scheming, in order to “erect their desired Superstructure of despotic Power, and reduce to

  • Chrome Ores of Southeastern Pennsylvania and Maryland
    CHROME ORES OF SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND MARYLAND. By ELEANORA BLISS KNOPF. INTRODUCTION. Chromite occurs in numerous areas of serpentine throughout the extreme southeastern part of Pennsylvania and the eastern part of Maryland. Deposits of commercial importance lie along the Mary­ land-Pennsylvania State line about 4 miles east of Susquehanna River and 5 miles northeast of the small town of Rising Sun, Cecil County, Md. Another deposit that has been recently worked is in Maryland in the Soldiers Delight area of serpentine, about 15 miles northwest of Baltimore. The topography of the Piedmont district of eastern Pennsylvania and Maryland, in which the chromite deposits are situated, is gentle and rolling. The country is well drained by numerous small streams, which offer a sufficient source of water for concentration. The climate is not rigorous. Roads are in general good, consisting of fair dirt roads within easy distance of excellent pikes. Railway transporta­ tion is within 4 or 5 miles of the mines and furnishes cheap and speedy access to the large chrome-ore markets. The State-line chrome ores are about 15 miles south of the large electric-power plant of the Pennsylvania Water Power Co. on Susquehanna River at Holt- wood, Pa. In November, 1917, I made a brief examination of the chrome- bearing rocks of the " State-line serpentine " belt of Pennsylvania and Maryland and of the Soldiers Delight deposit in Maryland. At that time no mines were in operation in the State-line chrome ores. I am indebted to Mr. J. H. Buxton, general manager of the Mary­ land Chrome Co.'s mine at Soldiers Delight, for his courtesy at the time of my visit.

  • The ^Penn Collection
    The ^Penn Collection A young man, William Penn fell heir to the papers of his distinguished father, Admiral Sir William Penn. This collec- A tion, the foundation of the family archives, Penn carefully preserved. To it he added records of his own, which, with the passage of time, constituted a large accumulation. Just before his second visit to his colony, Penn sought to put the most pertinent of his American papers in order. James Logan, his new secretary, and Mark Swanner, a clerk, assisted in the prepara- tion of an index entitled "An Alphabetical Catalogue of Pennsylvania Letters, Papers and Affairs, 1699." Opposite a letter and a number in this index was entered the identifying endorsement docketed on the original manuscript, and, to correspond with this entry, the letter and number in the index was added to the endorsement on the origi- nal document. When completed, the index filled a volume of about one hundred pages.1 Although this effort showed order and neatness, William Penn's papers were carelessly kept in the years that followed. The Penn family made a number of moves; Penn was incapacitated and died after a long illness; from time to time, business agents pawed through the collection. Very likely, many manuscripts were taken away for special purposes and never returned. During this period, the papers were in the custody of Penn's wife; after her death in 1726, they passed to her eldest son, John Penn, the principal proprietor of Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia, there was another collection of Penn deeds, real estate maps, political papers, and correspondence.

  • Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015)
    FINDLEY JR, JAMES WALTER, Ph.D. “Went to Build Castles in the Aire:” Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015). Directed by Dr. Phyllis Whitman Hunter. 266pp. This study examines the early phases of Anglo-North American colonization from 1570 to 1640 by employing the lenses of imagination and failure. I argue that English colonial projectors envisioned a North America that existed primarily in their minds – a place filled with marketable and profitable commodities waiting to be extracted. I historicize the imagined profitability of commodities like fish and sassafras, and use the extreme example of the unicorn to highlight and contextualize the unlimited potential that America held in the minds of early-modern projectors. My research on colonial failure encompasses the failure of not just physical colonies, but also the failure to pursue profitable commodities, and the failure to develop successful theories of colonization. After roughly seventy years of experience in America, Anglo projectors reevaluated their modus operandi by studying and drawing lessons from past colonial failure. Projectors learned slowly and marginally, and in some cases, did not seem to learn anything at all. However, the lack of learning the right lessons did not diminish the importance of this early phase of colonization. By exploring the variety, impracticability, and failure of plans for early settlement, this study investigates the persistent search for usefulness of America by Anglo colonial projectors in the face of high rate of
